Daniil Medvedev vs Nuno Borges ATP Vienna Open 2025 Prediction
Generally on the indoor hard courts, Medvedev likes to use the pace generated by the groundstrokes of his opponents. He is a past winner of this tournament (2022) and also finished as the runner-up a year later (2023). Borges will need to take charge of his service games, and dominate the forehand to forehand exchanges. However, a lot will depend on whether he can deal with the depth and flatness of Medvedev’s shots.
Prediction: Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.
